I have been informed by the Garda authorities who are responsible for the detailed allocation of resources, including personnel, that the following are the intake numbers of students in each of the years 2002, 2003 and to date in 2004.

I am further informed that the remainder of the information requested by the Deputy is not readily available and can only be obtained by the disproportionate expenditure of Garda time and resources relative to the information sought.
